Mark grew up around racing and was inspired by his father's love of the sport. He typified the spirit of the privateer racer, preparing his own machinery with the help of friends and family.
Road racing was his passion- competing in Northern Ireland and Europe- but becoming a TT racer was a life's ambition that represented the ultimate personal goal.
He was riding a 2021 Yamaha YZF-R6 and racing for the team NEVER BE CLEVER RACING.
